Last week, the market experienced its worst start to September since 1946, with the Technology and Oil & Gas sectors leading a sharp decline, while defensive sectors like Utilities and Consumer Goods showed resilience. Concerns about the Federal Reserve’s delay in lowering interest rates grew after weak economic reports, including the lowest job openings in three years and a modest increase in payrolls. Broadcom's disappointing guidance triggered a 10.3% drop in its stock, along with other AI-related companies, while bond market investors benefited from falling Treasury yields. Looking ahead, investors are eyeing the upcoming CPI release on Wednesday, ahead of the Federal Reserve's September meeting.
